信号网络

红绿线缆网络使得通过处于同一物流网络中的箱子中的物品来控制机械臂成为了可能。

一个更技术性的解释就是，红绿线缆网络是一个标准化的总线系统。见 这个解释.

尽管红绿线缆网络看起来与物流网络十分不同，但总线却是大体相同的。这是因为它们的信息是相同的。 它们之间最根本的不同是，所有在机器人指令平台范围内的东西都处在物流网络中，而红绿线缆网络只包括被线缆连接的箱子！

Basic

A basic circuit network usable to fill a chest with a defined amount of items. Watch exactly, how the red wires are connected! To connect a wire with the pole take a wire and drag it from the base of a pole to the target entity!

This is not very well documented, because it is not often used and with the ability of the smart inserter to connect also to the logistic network the best (recommended) basic usage is to switch of the steam engines during the night when you have enough power remaining in you accumulators.

Keep in mind, that the current roadmap for v0.11 plans to enhance the circuit network!

Advanced

The picture shows a circuit network, that contains over 42 000 coal and 12 000 iron plates.

The Circuit network/Bus-page explains the function of the bus.

There are several links into the forum:

• Forum article about the basic usage
• About comparison of the circuit wires with examples from the real world

Receivers

Example condition: "Work only if the count of Alien science pack is lower than 50."

Smart inserter is the only machine that can act depending on the state of the network. When it is connected to the network, it is possible to set up the condition:

• Item this condition should depend on
• Type of the condition (less then, bigger then, equal)
• Value, integral number connected with the condition.

Multiple networks

It is possible to establish multiple distinct networks of the same color. Just make sure that there is no wire connection between them and they will be treated as separate networks.

Examples

• Logic Gates, Edge Detector
• Logic gates revisited
• Evenly fill two item onto one lane
• Material splitters
• Logic gates using side inserter mod
